- I told my pixie to fly behind him so I could read over his shoulder.
- Headmaster Lightblade
- The Council would like to know your status. Word has reached us that you’ve been put under arrest. Do you require extraction or assistance? The pixie will carry your response.
- Additionally, the Council has needs for several things from the academy: in your response, please provide instructions on how to acquire the academy’s stocks of Kindness crystals, as well as trustworthy thaumaturges for a black-level mission.
- Death to the king. Long live Central.
- Was it safe to put all that in writing? This was a red-hot piece of evidence linking the headmaster of the kingdom’s only (as far as I knew) magic school to the mysterious council of rebels that planned to take down the king––or so the narrative told. And the details on what the village needed? That was suspicious, too. If the message had somehow fallen in the wrong hands, this would have been disastrous…
- …but, somehow, there was something else that was odd. Some of the words on the message overlapped in a weird way I’d never seen before. I doubted the message was somehow written in magic paper or ink, considering the way it was written.
- Unless it was somehow written in some kind of cipher, and my translation effect was just completely bypassing it?
- That made sense. From the levels of paranoia and competence I’d seen in both Maryk and Karjn so far, I doubted they would make such a simple mistake. It also explained why the Headmaster seemed to be having such a hard time reading it. His brow was furrowed in concentration, and more than once his eyes flicked back and forth as if he was re-reading the same sentence over.
- This was useful.
